wildlife observations March 31st

Swallows, House Martins and Sand Martins are here in large numbers. Willow Warblers, Chiff Chaffs and Blackcaps are singing.

Trees leafing nicely are Sycamore, Poplar, Hawthorn and Horse Chestnut.

.....and who's winning the race between the ash and the oak?

Dell has 7 spp of warbler now
She didn't tell me all, but whitethroat, blackcap, chiffchaff, garden and grasshopper i know.

She also says she has a tiny one. Could that possibly be a Fantail Warbler? In my book it says it's recognised by its small size. It's resident all year just across the Channel....

never heard of it but will look it uo now.
